Just a fairytale looking knightportrait. I did this to practice with my colorpencils. Sketch made with ordinary pencil, then outlines and heavy chadows with black ink, and last the color , done with colorpencils.

Hmm... Don't really like the face in this one... the rest is great, and I love the hand holding the helmet. i don't know why, I gust think the shading gives t life. Very nice.

I love the colors! I can't color and you did a great job! I love this one b/c the face looks exactly like Barry Allen (my favorite comic book character 2I don't know who Barry Allen is, but I am honored by your comment.

This is an excellent picture. The only constructive critisim I can think of is the head. It really doesn't look like it belongs with the rest of the figure. I believe the problem can be fixed however. You went a little overboard with the shading on his neck. At first I thought that his neck was covered with some kind of cloth, but I looked again and saw that that was not the case. Just lighten up the shadows on the neck and on the left hand, and it will look fine. Or, if you can't do that without ruining the picture, you might try to make the shading on the face a little darker. Just be careful not to overshade, or the head won't turn out right. Okay, enough nitpicking. You are quite talented! I am planning to put some of my pictures up in the Wood soon, and I am trying to brush up on my coloring skills. I generally run screaming from from paints and colored pencils, so I understand the difficulties that come with trying to learn how to use colors. Keep up the good work, and keep adding to your gallery. I hope to see some more of your work soon!
